I don't believe the Mobil1 0W-40 is LSPI friendly, it has a fairly high calcium level as I recall. Maybe the 3.5 EB is not subject to LSPI, I don't know
. Our 2.3 EB is a smaller engine and possibly falls into the LSPI territory so I'll play it safe and use a dexos 1 Gen 2, SN+ oil. I'll stick with "plain vanilla" Mobil 1 5W-30. It meets all the specs for LSPI engines. My UOA's using Mobil 1 5W-30 have been really good for a 6,200 mile winter run and even better for a 7,000 mile summer run. As a bonus with the Mobil 1 rebates I've gotten it cheap and cheap Mobil1 oil filters at the same time.

It is really amazing how the average member here believes they are the guru who has tested the Ecoboost with $20 UOA's thus know what is the best grade and oil to use.
